Fox News Ignores Ivanka Trump’s Email Scandal

In the weeks leading up to the 2016 election, both right-wing and mainstream media outlets relentlessly hammered Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server during her time as Secretary of State. The media feeding frenzy surrounding “Her Emails” turned a bureaucratic rule-breaking story into a national crisis, and—along with Comey’s ill-timed letter announcing they were taking another look at the case—might have swung the election to Donald Trump.

So you can imagine how the gasping pearl-graspers concerned with proper intergovernmental email management reacted when the news broke that Ivanka Trump, White House Advisor to President Daddy, had been using her personal email account for official government business.

Oh right, no one cared.

After declaring Clinton public enemy number one for daring to use personal email, Fox News couldn’t even be bothered to write a single story on the issue.

If you're one of those news organizations that treated Clinton's private emails like they were a national emergency, the solution isn't to treat Ivanka's private emails like they're also a national emergency—rather, it's to acknowledge that you kinda fucked up on Clinton.

NEW: Spy agencies have learned China/Russia have intercepted calls Trump makes from his cell. China is using the info to influence US trade policy. Trump has been told he's being monitored, but refuses to stick to secure line. @maggieNYT@AllMattNYT report https://t.co/aTsd9PqISO
